What Changes with a Move from a Church of 50 to a Church of 150

All churches have leadership challenges, regardless of size. Small churches are not easier to lead than large churches. Large churches are not easier to grow than small churches. But they are different. When pastors move from one size of church to another, they have to adapt. 

• Formalities and structure increase

• Leadership approaches shift from one-on-one conversations to group settings

• There are fewer family-run churches of 150 people

• Micromanagement will kill you

• Diplomacy becomes more of a need

• Nothing beats digging into the Bible for yourself. After all, there’s life in the words of Scripture. But if your Bible study habits have been stale or maybe nonexistent, where do you even begin?

• Introducing Logos 10: the new release from the leaders in digital Bible study. Logos takes you beyond Bible reading into deep studying of Scripture.

• Want to do a Bible word study? Prep a sermon? Understand a difficult passage? Start (and actually finish) a Bible reading plan? Do all that and more with the study tools and theological library in Logos 10. 

• With it, you can uncover biblical insights whether you have five minutes or five hours. And the new Logos is lightning fast on desktop, web, and mobile. It has a sleek, modern look that helps you focus on what matters—Scripture.

• Any book is now an audio book on L10 mobile.

• Visit Logos.com/churchanswers to find the best Logos package for you.
